Pace & Chase is a fun, competitive event inspired by fox hunting. Ride alone or with a team over varied terrain and try to complete the course as close to the optimal time as possible. We offer divisions starting at Beginner (2', 200m/min) to Pre-Training (3', 400m/min). Training (3'3") options will be available for Division 6. Accumulate points over the show series to win Division Champion.

Pace & Chase ExplainedOur Hunter Pace & Chase is a low-key competitive event inspired by foxhunting. Individuals or teams follow a set outdoor course of jumps laid out over varied terrain that is meant to simulate the riding experience of a foxhunt. The purpose of a Hunter Pace and Chase is not to award the rider or team with the fastest time, but rather to award the rider or team that can complete the course at the suggested pace thereby completing the course with a time as close as possible to the optimum time. That said, exhibitors are encouraged to ride at whatever pace they and their horse are comfortable with. We want to encourage riders to come and have fun schooling their horses.​Since fun and schooling are what we mainly want to encourage, we hope all riders will ride in a safe and courteous manner. The course is not to be ridden as a steeplechase! Please use common courtesy and be helpful to your fellow competitors.We would also like to encourage the whole family to come out and ride, so we have included a division where riders can go out as a team, but only one member of the team is required to jump the obstacles on course. In this class, riders who chose not to jump can ride in a Western saddle, or any other type of saddle.Volunteers are always needed to help with registrations, ring managers, jump judges and timers. Please help our show run smoothly by volunteering some of your time, or by bringing someone who can volunteer for you.Hope to see you there!

The Pace and Chase events have some incredible sponsors with some fantastic prizes. Come and check it out and have some fun. Nothing to lose, and lots to gain from amazing friendships to some fun rides on horseback!
